@Keeping_positive1 I think her comment was more along the lines that my expectations of myself were very high and that I, along with the people around me, still expected that I could keep all the info in my head and deliver as required and that it was important that I accepted the impact that the trauma of diagnosis and treatment had had on me. With some strategies in place, I have mostly been able to continue at a reasonable level but that high-functioning that I took as part of me, has gone. Getting others to accept that as well has been a long journey. Family mostly along for the ride (and jokes aside, very supportive) but it has been more challenging at work: "Don't you remember that?" "You must remember that!" No - sorry, I have absolutely no recollection. Do you have evidence? Yes? Well, it must have happened then. Good on ya! Funnily enough, I work in a high school and for some reason anything relating to a particular Shakespearean play has disappeared into a black hole. Some might find that disturbing while others would consider it deserving. :D
